This pedestrian safety kit for kindergarten through the third grade consists of 16 lessons encompassing many safety concepts, guidelines and skills that emphasize pedestrian safety rules, alertness, and responsible reaction to hazardous situations. Lessons include activities of varying difficulty for large group, small group or individual instruction. Each lesson teaches from one to three skills. Behavioral objectives are stated and "teacher information" is outlined to provide the content needed to reach the objectives. Activities are suggested and an assessment checklist is provided. Student worksheets are included for many of the lessons. Lessons are grouped under five headings: Introduction: The Foundation, Signals and Symbols, Decision Making and Auditory Discrimination, Hazards and Defensive Behavior, and Safety Personnel. Two other chapters in the kit, Learning Center and Other Components of the Program, provide additional materials for student use. (Author/RH)
